What can Onken do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Onken is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Yoghurt Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As Onken already receives a top score in the Ethical Yoghurt sector, The Good Shopping Guide encourages it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After sending in its application, Onken will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide Ethical Mark. Onken could further improve its score by gaining Vegetarian and Organic certification.
